The original American Idol Kelly Clarkson is about to embark on her first US tour since 2009. Ms. Clarkson’s 2012 “Stronger Tour” will help support her 5th studio album of the same name. Joining her on tour will be emerging singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson. The “Stronger Tour” will feature 40+ shows throughout the US and will kickoff on 1/13/2012 at the MGM Grand (Foxwoods) in Connecticut.

Kelly Clarkson is one of the most popular pop musicians of her era and is by far the top grossing American Idol contestant. Since winning the first season of American Idol in 2002 she has sold tens of millions of albums and has won numerous awards including 2 Grammy Awards, 3 MTV Video Music Awards, Womens World Award, and 4 American Music Awards. Part of the reason for Clarkson’s success is her ability bridge genres. Clarkson seamlessly seems to blend her pop stylings with traditional rock and country. Kelly also recently released popular duets with country music star Jason Aldean (Don’t You Wanna Stay) and country music legend Reba McEntire (Because of You).

With the lack of winter concert tours making their rounds, the Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger Tour tickets have been some of the most popular in the secondary ticket market. See her concert schedule below to find a Kelly Clarkson concert near you!
